Experimental Study on Switching Impulse Flashover Characteristics of ±500 kV VSCHVDC Converter Valve’s External Insulation and Altitude Correction Methods
It is the first time that the Zhangbei ±500 kV flexible DC demonstration project built a four-termina lflexible DC power grid. ±500 kV is the existing highest voltage level of flexible DC transmission in the world.±500 kV VSC converter valve is the core equipment of flexible DC transmission. As Zhangbei is located in the high altitude area
it is of great significance to determine the minimum indoor air-gap distance for VSC converter valve’s external insulation and layout of the electrical devices in the valve in high altitude areas. In this study
the ±500 kV VSC converter valve installation was used to carry out switching impulse flashover tests at the SGCC UHVDC test base in Beijing
and characteristic curve of switching impulse flashover was acquired.Different altitude correction methods were compared to analyze and select the altitude correction factor suitable for the external insulation of ±500 kV VSC converter valve. Furthermore
the obtained characteristic curve of switching impulse flashover was used to calculate the minimum air-gap distances for a ±500 kV VSC converter valve installation with defined levels of operating overvoltage at an altitude of 2 100 m.
